The cost was $2400 for the 72 inch model with free shipping.. I will check and lube the chain next time out.. The shipping weight was 850lbs so it is pretty heavy duty.. Thanks

I will say that the rear mount is a little hard on the neck and back but I am glad I did not give up the loader for a front mount.. The only set back I have had so far is when the wind blows I all of a sudden cant see out the rear window.. Should have the problem cured once the rear wiper kit gets here for the rear window..

I hope that wiper fix's it for ya, but I doubt it.
The rear push are bad for that, especially when the wind is heavy.
I must say, they are great to cut into a bank etc, weather permitting,
I think we need about 15 different attachments for our machines to really be comfortable.
That is a nice blower, my rear pull (72") is only 560 lbs, so yours must be top notch.

If you can, try blowing with the wind coming toward the front of the tractor. Anything but into the wind. Sometimes I will drive to the other end of the driveway and blow snow coming back, because that is the direction the wind is taking the snow away from me. If you think a cab is bad, you should try it without one. :laughing:
I have some dead ends and corners that I do with the FEL because there is no way to avoid the blow back with the usual prevailing wind direction. Those areas would be boogers with a plow too. I like the FEL blower combination too. It's very flexible.
